physician assistant, paramedic and emergency medical
technicians also participated in the project.
The "detectives" were able to participate in hands-on medical
procedures such as casting and splinting, blood pressure
monitoring, x-rays, physical therapy exercises, chemical
reactions, healthy meals and snacks, listening to heartbeats, and
ride in an ambulance.
Tours of First Care Health Center clinic and hospital were
given to the "'detectives" and their teachers.
"We were pleased with the success of the Inspector Wellness
and the Case of the Many Medical Careers Project and would
like to thank Eastern North Dakota AHEC for providing this
grant to First Care Health Center," said project coordinator Ruth
Jelinek. "We plan to continue this program again next year."
